Since George RR Martin will only be done writing The Winds of Winter by apocalypse, we have nothing to do till then but feed our curiosity. The latest Game of Thrones news to hit the boombox and shatter the Earth's core is that Neil Nitin Mukesh might have been offered a role in this hit HBO series.

But with winter already upon us and no books to help us through this confused haze of tears and anticipation, we're resorting to the next best option. Speculation.

Here are 7 roles Neil Nitin Mukesh could play in GoT. All scenarios have been imagined keeping the GRRM spirit in mind. *hums soundtrack*

01

The Indian Maharaja

Perhaps he's playing an Indian Maharaja brought over to fund King's Landing's dying coffers. However, he meets one of the Sand Snakes before he could meet Cercei. He dies. #NaaginDance

Perhaps he's going to be Daenerys' third husband. Perhaps they met when she was lying sick in the desert. Perhaps they fell in love, married under the desert stars. Perhaps he brings her back to Meereen. Perhaps Jorah Mormont kills him. #WhyDoesSheKeepIgnoringMe

BUT. What if he's not playing a new character? What if he's replacing the incredibly amazing but horribly creepy Iwan Rheon, because being a demon he's immune to Valar Morghulis? What if Sansa watches New York?

What if she stops feeling scared of Ramsay? What if she kills him? #QueenOfTheNorth #QueenOfTheSevenKingdoms
